Anton Bilchik MD Discusses Benefits of Minimally Invasive Surgery

There are many benefits that patients get from undergoing minimally invasive surgery in comparison to more extensive procedures. Anton Bilchik, MD, is a proponent of developing minimally invasive options because they cause a patient less pain and result in shorter hospital stays. There is also less injury to muscle tissue and less scaring as a result. In addition, most procedures show a higher accuracy and success rate because technology is getting better at assisting surgeons. Dr. Bilchik continues to conduct research into advancing these types of procedures so that patients see higher success rates and lower risks associated with surgery.
